Hello guys! It is great to have this site available!

Here is what my problem is. I have a genuine Windows XP (Service Pack 2) operating system. Recently I reinstalled my system. When I tried to download the latest updates from the Microsoft site it went ok but after rebooting the system it just keeps on rebooting and never stops. The computer cannot enter Save mode or any other repair mode when I try to do so it reboots again! My BIOS version is the latest available and so are my chipset drivers. My system is as follows:

Hello, Keith thanks very much for answering!!I try to download all the critical updates needed for my computer, apart from the Service Pack 2 already installed on my computer. The list of the specific updates is in the attached file along with their descriptions. I donít know which one of them may cause the problem. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks again, Keith.[font=Tahoma]

Reboot and check the PC runs, if so, return to Microsoft Update, select custom install, get the list, remove the ticks from all but the top five, install, check in add / remove, add the new ones to the list

Reboot and check the PC

Although longwinded, you won't have much to remove if and when it shows an error
